They just better be now. Part of why i love Giro more than Tour last few years is just because you cannot predict what happened in mountain. This stages is perfect to escape to victory. As i typed this Yates has gone into trouble by Sky. Should be cracking this one
Wow wow wow Yates is breaking down! Dumoulin already has the pink jersey as it stands. Incredible stuff.
Pozzovivo and Dumoulin still can hang on with Skytrain. 
Yates shown his inexperience this Giro,should be on his peak in 3rd week but i think he is peaked in 2nd week.

Froome to win it all? 
Dumoulin got this. Shame for yates
Its Dumoulin to win it all. He just need to hang on with Sky till tomorrow. I doubt he crack. He is a younger Froome basically.
The pace even more higher by Sky. Holy moly. Pozzovivo is cracking. Dumoulin and Pinot still can hang on.
If Froome escape on descent this is Froome to lose. No way Dumoulin can hang on in next two climb, cant he?
Sky is basically City/PSG rolled into one? :-p
Froome is on his own now, 80km from the finish, what the feck!
Yates lose 5min already. This is really exciting, a queen stage should be like this.

He has 2 descents to come this stage, and we know how impressive he can be on descent.
Of course.
Sky has really turned cycling into a joke.. if froome was on a weaker team, he would be a truly exciting rider. We finally see him attach like thisnafter years because he finally has to.
7.30 min lose for Yates, colud be well and truly over 10min after this stage over. The remarkable thing is Yates got destroyed on his backyard, mountain stage.
This Giro really got the trick by self-inviting Froome to race.
If Froome wins this Giro in this manner, forget the Tours, this would be the jewel in the crown
On the manner, yes, attack like he should.
Amazing stage today.
Froome isn't that far away from getting the virtual pink jersey at the moment. This has been a completely insane stage so far.
After Zoncolan finished, de la Cruz on his short interview with Eurosport said that they still want the Maglia Rosa, i thought that was beyond reach but my godness, this stage really insane.
Frome is the virtual leader with 32km to go.
Unless Dumoulin has mental breakdown, this is still him to lose. he got men to pace him at last climb.
Froome-dog looking fresh as a daisy with 20 km to go.
Pacing him backwards possibluy, he may have to go alone to not lose more time.....
If he must go alone, Its Froome to lose.
My commentators are pissed with Carapaz and Lopez.
Well, maybe not pissed, but annoyed, and talking about non-sportsmenlike behavior from the pair.

They gain nothing by working for Dumoulin, and they still in battle with each other for white jersey. better save energy tomorrow for them i think.
I never understand this, Dumoulin is the higher ranked rider, why shouldn't they just let him do all the heavy lifting?
It's not over until the results of the drug tests are revealed.
I was actually talking about the Giro's drug tests. But that too.
Don't have anything against him, but it should be pointed out his performance today could be wiped out of the history books.

Nah, doped has been there since ages. It just the case cycling world wants to looks good as pure as they can.

Obviously that.goes for any other rider too. Let's wait and see.
Wonder what is playing on Froome Dog radio? Michelle Pillow talk? Wiggins' voice?
It's basically been a man to man battle for 80 km. Yes Dumoulin had others with him but they were never making any tempo, so it's not like Froome is taking minutes on a bunch of riders who're all working together. It's a remarkable ride but I don't see this as super human or anything. If you think about it, anything can be suspect. Yates' riding in the first 2 weeks could be considered suspect, Froome's performance today, Dumoulin outclimbing several mountain specialists, etc. Whatever you think about it though, this has been an epic and exciting stage.
Well said.
Froome-dog never been in *pink
